The Politics of Hope?

From Yahoo News:

CHICAGO - Sen. Barack Obama predicted Wednesday that Republicans will
have a dump truck full of dirt to unload on Hillary Rodham Clinton if
the former first lady wins the Democratic presidential nomination,
and said he offers the party its best hope of winning the White House
this fall...

I suspect that the republicans are already drooling at the prospect of an Obama candidacy and not only from the racist viewpoint.


The man has no experience but he has, with this comment, proven that his "Audacity of Hope" should have been entitled, "The Audacity of Hype."


It goes without saying that the republicans will run a filthy campaign against whomever is the democratic nominee.


After eight years in the White House with Bill plus her time in the Senate, Hillary has shown that she can play hardball. On the other hand, even the most superficial criticism has Obama crying foul. Could it be that the image he has taken great pains to create is somewhat less than truthful? What skeletons lie in his closet?


The republicans will be sure to let us all know should he become the nominee.


Hillary does not excite me, John Edwards was my choice, but she stands head and shoulders over Obama whose main talent seems to be delivering speeches written by someone else.
